Hello! Is there a way to link a person as in the "Marriage" or "Residence" or "Census" Event Type when I create an event called "Death of Spouse" and be able to link the spouse who died? Gosh, did that even make sense? :-) Thanks!

You can create the new event, but you'd need to manually "link" it - right now that type of linking has to be handled by the backend, so is limited to specific events. Down the road I could look into "generalizing" it so it can be configured, but I hesitate a bit to make it more complicated than is needed. In this case it would just be 1 extra event that needs to be added, so hopefully that is not too much of a pain.

LOL! Oh, I understand. I was not really asking you to do something as much as I was asking if there was a way to do this? I would link the person manually, but the spot for that is "grayed" out. Example: I created an event called "Death of Spouse, " but the area to link a person is not available.

Yeah it will be grayed out since it's not supported for custom events - instead just put the spouse's name as the first line in the event details box and will basically look the same.

Let me know if that helps.
